I am British Indian and grew up in Winchester, attending Kings Worthy Primary School, St Anne’s Convent School and Peters Symonds Sixth Form College. In 2004 I moved to Manchester to study Physics with Astrophysics at the University of Manchester. In 2007 I spent the summer working at the Jodrell Bank Observatory as a research student and in 2008 I graduated with a first class MPhys (hons) degree. I started my PhD in the same year and was awarded my doctorate in 2012. I began working at the ICG a week before my viva and have been there ever since!
